Porcupine Tree is one of my favorite bands of all time. Actually, the name of my blog is inspired in a song of them. They're a band from Hemel Hempstead, London, and they're composed of their leader, singer and guitarist Steven Wilson, the drummer Gavin Harrison, the bass player Colin Edwin and the keyboard player Richard Barbieri. They play a mixture between progressive rock and psychedelic music, with a lot of influences, like trip hop, art pop, ambient and progressive metal. Actually I don't really know why I love this band so much, but one of the reasons is that their music sometimes is so simple and minimalistic, and sometimes is really complex and exuberating, with songs up to 15 minutes long. So their sound is really dinamic,which is a really fantastic thing. They we're formed in the late 80's, and they have published 10 studio albums since 1991.
Is really hard to pick just one song, all of their songs are pretty amazing! but if I have to do it, i'll choose a song called Stars Die, taken from their third record, called The Sky Moves Sideways. The song is very surrealistic musically and lyrically, and that's one of the reasons why i love it.
Here's a video of Piano Lessons, another great track from them.
I didn't know this band. I liked the song! =)
ResponderEliminarNice. Really good English. Nice band too. Instead of 'tops' I think 'songs up to 15 mins long' is better.
